BRIEF: ANNAPOLIS $6,400 in electronics stolen from unlocked home

Nov 08, 2012 (The Capital - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
More than $6,400 in electronics was stolen from an Annapolis home Wednesday, police said.

Around 6:45 p.m. police responded to the 1000 block of Kensington Way, where they spoke with a 27-year-old man living there. The man told police he had left the home around 8 a.m. that day.

When he returned that evening, he found that several items -- including a flat-screen TV, multiple laptop computers and Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and Playstation 2 video game consoles -- were missing from the residence.

The man told police he had left his back door unlocked when he left that morning.

Police said there was an attempted break-in at another home little more than a half-mile away in the 900 block of Breakwater Drive. A screen window was pried off between Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon. Entry to the home was not gained, police said.

Annapolis Police Department spokesman Sgt. Eric E. Crane said police are looking into the possibility that the two incidents are linked to each other and connected to other burglaries in the area over the past few weeks.
